The artesian excavation at Battery

Mr.. C. C. Miller, practical miller and
mill-wright, will be in Asheville on
Saturday next, the day of the grand bar
becue, and desires to meet the mill own
ers of the county on that occasion. At
Messrs. VIM. Howell and Robert Jones

DIR. ]. w. Long. late of Randleman,
Randolph county, has chosen Asheville
as his abode, and is here to establish
himself in his profession. He has ROOMS
over Herring 6 Weaver. We bid him a
hearty welcome. We know the good
stock from which he comes.
What is the matter with the rail roads?
Not daY passes that our kilograms do
not report some disaster. Collisions
occur so often as clearly to suggest care
lessness in train dispatcherE. These cause
one class of accidents; other causes are too
numerous to mention, but in all of them
the old adage the more haste, the less
speed hs S its verifcation. High speed
is response to the national spirit of
hurry.
Our old subscriber Henderson Wright

be called, with true yankee appreciation;
and Henderson ought to have a good
reward for his venture. There is no
small industry that will not pay well
with so sure and steady a market as
Asheville.
Mr.. -Hallyburton, of tie Connelly's
Springs Hotel, was in the city yesterday
He informs us that his house was largely
patronized during the past season, visi.
tors coming from all parts of this State
and from abroad. We are glad to hear
this, for the house in all particulars is an
excellent one, and under the charge oi
most kindly and attentive hosts.
Mr.. II. is kind enough to attribute a
due share of his patronage to his adver-
tisement in the CITIZEN to which he as
cribes the presence of a number of guests
1t proves what we claim, that advertising
in our paper does pay.
Durham has had three different prop
ositions for three different subscriptions
to three different railroads, and her peo
pie voted unanimously for each and al
of them. This is the kind of enterprise
end push which attracts capital and la
Dor and population, and develops anc
diffuses thrift. Durham pays no money
until she gets the roads; getting th'
roads she can well afford, to pay TO
them. The construction of the roads
will pay back to the people more money
than the latter subscribe, and the latte
will be getting tie benefit of other in
vestments attracted by such enterpris
and prospects. Cannot Buncombe learl
a lesson from this?
